"The 2019/20 UEFA Europa League quarter-finals, semi-finals and final will be played as a straight knockout tournament across four cities in Germany in August: Cologne, Duisburg, Düsseldorf and Gelsenkirchen. All these ties will be single-leg fixtures," a statement from UEFA reads.
"A decision is pending on whether the round of 16 second legs will take place at the home team's stadium or in Germany. The ties where the first leg was also postponed – namely Inter vs Getafe and Sevilla vs Roma – will be played as a single leg at a venue to be confirmed."
The Europa League final is set to take place at RheinEnergieStadion in Köln on 21 August. Three German teams, Bayer Leverkusen, Wolfsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt, still have a chance of winning the tournament.
UEFA has also announced that the decisive phase of the Champions League will be played in Lisbon in August.
